Researchers at AMBER, the SFI Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research, and from Trinity s School of Physics, have developed next-generation, graphene-based sensing technology using their innovative G-Putty material.
The team s printed sensors are 50 times more sensitive than the industry standard and outperform other comparable nano-enabled sensors in an important metric seen as a game-changer in the industry: flexibility.
Maximising sensitivity and flexibility without reducing performance makes the teams technology an ideal candidate for the emerging areas of wearable electronics and medical diagnostic devices.
The team - led by Professor Jonathan Coleman from Trinity s School of Physics, one of the world s leading nanoscientists - demonstrated that they can produce a low-cost, printed, graphene nanocomposite strain sensor.
Professor Jonathan Coleman, lead PI at AMBER, the SFI Research Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research, and the School of Physics at Trinity, has secured a European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept grant worth €150,000.
This Proof of Concept project, named Print-SENSE, will examine the economic and technical feasibility of using nanomaterial-based inks for high-performance sensing applications, particularly within medical diagnostics.
